Notes

*Graduate programs in social work want students to have a course in statistics before beginning advanced standing studies.

* Although SWK 101, 253, and 254 meet the social science core requirement, it is strongly recommended that students take six additional credits in the social sciences.

* The department requires majors to take BIO 122 at the sophomore level. This course is credited toward the science core requirement.

* Students entering Providence College with two to three years of a foreign language are strongly encouraged to continue their language study.

* Courses are taken in the sequence indicated.
